Federal Water Resources Act Signed Into Law
By Mark Edward Nero
President Obama on June 10 signed into law the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014, the first major US waterways legislation in seven years.
The legislation authorizes 34 projects across the country, including dredging at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. It identifies more than $12 billion worth of new water infrastructure projects, particularly on the East Coast and in the South, and authorizes funding for them, including flood protection, ecosystem restoration and maintenance of ports and navigation routes for commerce and the movement of goods.
The US Senate on May 22 voted 91-7 to approve $12.3 billion legislation that authorizes spending on infrastructure projects to boost US ports and waterways. The House of Representatives approved the same bill on a 412-4 vote earlier that week.
In addition to authorizing crucial port projects, the legislation reforms the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund to increase port investment. Despite substantial maintenance needs at some US ports, only roughly half of the taxes collected in the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund each year are actually used for port maintenance activities.
The legislation also calls for full expenditure of all revenues collected in the Trust Fund by 2025.
In his remarks, the President said the legislation would put Americans to work modernizing the country's water infrastructure, plus restore vital ecosystems.
"As more of the world's cargo is transported on these massive ships, we've got to make sure that we've got bridges high enough and ports that are big enough to hold them and accommodate them so that our businesses can keep selling goods made in America to the rest of the world," Obama said. "Meanwhile, many of America's businesses ship their goods across the country by river and by canal, so we've got to make sure that those waterways are in tip-top shape."

Eagle Marine Services Files Layoff Notice
Eagle Marine Services plans to lay off 94 of its employees within Washington State by the end of July, according to a notice the company has filed with the state Employment Security Department.
Eagle Marine, a subsidiary of American President Lines (APL) operates two West Coast terminals, one at the Port of Los Angeles and another at Port of Seattle. The Seattle terminal, which handles about 350,000 lifts annually, has the capacity for nearly 600,000 TEUs, according to Eagle Marine. It also contains a 190-acre container yard and 30 acres of on-dock rail.
Thus far, neither Eagle Marine nor APL has publicly commented on the reason for the layoffs, but on May 16, the port and Eagle Marine announced a plan to relocate Eagle Marine's cargo and break bulk activities to another terminal so that the company's current home at Terminal 5 can be modernized in order to handle larger vessels.
Under the agreement's terms, which haven't yet been approved by the Port Commission but may be considered at its June 24 meeting, Eagle Marine would shift operations this summer to Terminal 18, which already houses SSA Terminals. The port, however, has said that the proposal would allow Eagle Marine to preserve both container volume and ship calls.

Port of Port Angeles to Settle Stormwater Lawsuit
The three-member Port of Port Angeles Commission voted unanimously on June 10 to use $26,500 to settle a lawsuit alleging the port violated a state stormwater permit issued under the federal Clean Water Act.
The settlement amount consists of $16,500 to cover the legal fees of the lawsuit's plaintiff, environmental group Waste Action Project, plus $10,000 that will be paid to the Feiro Marine Life Center to help restore Peabody Creek.
King County-based Waste Action Project filed suit in US District Court in September 2013, alleging violations of the Clean Water Act relating to stormwater discharges from the port's boatyard. The group had claimed that when it rained, the port was exceeding benchmark zinc and copper levels in stormwater that the port discharges into the Boat Haven marina inside Port Angeles Harbor.
The group's lawsuit quoted discharge monitoring reports that the port files with the state Department of Ecology in stating that the seasonal average for copper concentration from 2011-12 was eight times the allowable average of 50 micrograms per liter and that the seasonal average for zinc concentration over the same timeframe was 267.5 micrograms per liter, three times the allowable seasonal average of 85 micrograms per liter.
Under the terms of the settlement, the port admits no wrongdoing, agrees to comply with the terms of its national pollutant discharge permit going forward and is also required to implement a new discharge system wherein stormwater will circulate through plants and soil in a rain garden, rather than flow into marina waters.

LA City Council Confirms Port Director
The Los Angeles City Council unanimously confirmed veteran shipping industry leader Gene Seroka as the new executive director of the Port of Los Angeles on June 11. He replaces former Executive Director Geraldine Knatz, who retired in late 2013.
Seroka's nomination was unanimously approved by the port's Harbor Commission on June 5.
"The Los Angeles trade gateway is a vital force in our nation's economy," Seroka said. "I am honored to lead the team dedicated to making this powerful engine the most competitive, efficient and sustainable source of prosperity for the benefit of both our region and U.S. international trade."
Seroka has more than 25 years of experience in shipping, global logistics and executive management. Most recently, he was Head of Commercial in the Americas Region for American President Lines (APL) Limited. Seroka joined APL, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore-based Neptune Orient Lines (NOL), in 1988 as a sales support representative.
Among those testifying on Seroka's behalf before the City Council was Michele Grubbs, vice president of the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association.
"In a hyper competitive business environment, choosing Gene is a clear affirmation that the port of Los Angeles is customer-focused and committed to retaining its standing as the No. 1 container port in the United States," Grubbs, told the Council.
"Gene Seroka is a dynamic, seasoned executive with all the right knowledge and skills to seize the opportunities and navigate the challenges of a fiercely competitive industry and ensure the Port of Los Angeles continues to thrive as a global leader in international trade," said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who nominated Seroka for the position on May 27, after a global search to fill the position.

Russia's New Crimean Shipbuilding Sector
By Eugene Gerden
Russia is considering a massive shipbuilding program, utilizing the facilities of Crimean enterprises and plants, according to an official representative of the country's Ministry of Industry and Trade.
As part of these plans, a special commission headed by Vladimir Shmakov, President of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, Russia's state monopoly in the field of shipbuilding, has recently visited the Crimea to evaluate the shipbuilding potential of local enterprises.
According to state plans, the Russian Military-Industrial Commission, (which is a permanently functioning body with vast responsibilities for supervising the distribution and implementation of the "State defense order") will soon provide the Crimean shipbuilding enterprises with state orders on the building and servicing of both military and commercial ships.
According to earlier statements by Dmitry Rogozin, Russia's Deputy Prime Minister, who is responsible for the development of the military and industrial complex in the Russian government, Crimea has big shipbuilding potential.
"Crimea currently has several large ship repair and shipbuilding plants, located in Feodosia, Kerch and Sevastopol, which were among the largest during the Soviet times," said Rogozin. "We have already evaluated their potential and have already decided to start production of some of vessels and marine equipment at their facilities this year".
At present Crimea has about a dozen large-scale shipbuilding enterprises. In Sevastopol such plants include the Sevastopol Marine Plant named Ordzhonikidze, which was founded as far back as in 1783, the South Sevastopol plant and the Maritime Industrial complex.
In Kerch, shipbuilding is expected to be established at the local Zaliv plant and the Kerch Shipyard. Finally, in Feodosia, production may take place at the facilities of the existing More factory, which was founded in 1938 and which specializes in the production of hovercrafts and hydrofoils.
An official representative of United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) has already confirmed the company's interest in Crimean enterprises, but declined to provide details. He added that if the Crimean enterprises receive orders, it will help to save their production, scientific and technical potential, as well as ensure their integration into the Russian shipbuilding industry.
The USC believes that the transfer of some orders to Crimean enterprises will not affect the rate of utilization of the corporation itself and enterprises, which are part of it.
In the meantime, Russian experts in the field of shipbuilding have already welcomed the new state initiative, believing that it will have a positive effect on the economy of Crimea and the whole of Russia.
According to Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, one of Russia's leading analyst agencies in the field of maritime and shipbuilding, the annexation of Crimea by Russia is also beneficial because the Russian Black Sea Fleet will return to its historic base in Sevastopol from Novorossiysk and will no longer have to pay to rent naval bases in Sevastopol.
It is planned that at the initial stage the Crimean plants will focus first on the implementation of state orders, and later on commercial contracts. This will take place after the completion of a modernization of the facilities.
Among the planned production range are oil tankers, LNG carriers and vessels for the development of the Russian continental shelf and in particular the Arctic.
Sevmorzavod, which is the largest shipbuilding plant in Sevastopol, is expected to be one of the Crimean enterprises, which will receive funds from the Russian government.
According to Dmitry Belik, Acting Mayor of Sevastopol, Sevmorzavod is a former shipbuilding and shiprepair base for the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which had employed more than 15,000 workers in the past.
In addition to shipbuilding itself, there are plans for the development of diesel engine manufacturing, as well as casting and galvanizing production. Finally, a significant amount of funds are expected to be invested to establish the production of marine screws and other marine equipment.
Belik also added that all the Crimean shipbuilding plants will be repurchased from their current owners without any expropriation, while all the current workers will keep their jobs.
The utilization of Crimean enterprises will also help USC to implement one of the most ambitious goals for the current year and to double its revenue up to 350 billion rubles (USD$11 billion) this year, according to Alexander Neugebauer, the company's vice president for economics and finance. In contrast to previous years, when the majority of revenue was generated by State defense orders, this year the share of revenue attracted by commercial orders will be significantly increased, which is expected to help to achieve such ambitious figures.
According to USC, its military and commercial order book is full. The largest commercial orders to be implemented in 2014 will be the production of icebreakers and offshore drilling platforms, which will be supplied both to domestic and foreign customers. In the case of domestic customers, OSC already has preliminary agreements on the supply of its new vessels and equipment to the country's leading oil and gas producers, such as Rosneft and Gazprom. The names of foreign customers are currently not available, but according to analysts of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, the new ships may be of interest to Rosneft and Gazprom foreign partners who participate in the development of oil and gas fields, including on the country's sea shelf. Among such companies could be ExxonMobil, BP, Total and others.
In recent years, the development of shipbuilding has become one of the priority targets of the Russian government. In addition to Crimea, the government plans to continue its active development in the Far East. As part of this, the government plans to speed implementation of a project to build the Zvezda super shipyard, which will be located in Primorye (Far East) and will be the largest shipyard in the country.
According to the latest decision of the Russian government, the shipyard should be built no later than by 2018, instead of originally planned 2021, due to pressure of the country's leading oil and gas producers. Upon completion of construction, Zvezda will become the largest shipyard in Russia, which will augment the existing state shipbuilding program by about 30 percent.
The building of the shipyard is expected to attract some leading design bureaus from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Europe and the US as well as leading shipbuilding corporations from Southeast Asia, and in particular from Korea.
Already during the first stage the shipyard will have the capacity to build ships with a length of 250 meters and launching weight of up to 30,000 tons.
The shipyard will specialize in the construction of tankers with a deadweight of up to 350,000 tons, gas, ice-class vessels, special vessels, offshore platform elements and other marine equipment.
Analysts of Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade believe that the segment of offshore vessels is expected to be the most profitable for USC and the whole Russian shipbuilding industry in the near future. According to earlier estimates of Russia's President Vladimir Putin, the USC's portfolio in this segment may reach 512 vessels by 2030, with a total value of 6.5 trillion rubles (USD$180 billion).
However implementation of these ambitious plans may never take place, due to current financial difficulties being experienced by the Russian government, associated with the recent Crimean crisis and devaluation of the ruble. According to Alexey Rachmanov, Russia's Minister of Industry and Trade, the funding of the existing state program to help develop the national shipbuilding industry through 2030, initially estimated at RUB 1.3 trillion (USD$37 billion) could be cut by up to 40 percent.

Westport Shipyard Sold
Westport Shipyard, the largest yacht builder in North America, said June 6 that the company's assets have been acquired by Westport, LLC, an ownership group that includes members of the Louisiana-based Chouest family.
Westport Shipyard, which was founded in 1964 and is now celebrating 50 years in business, maintains three locations in Washington state, as well as a marina and sales office in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The company, which employs more than 400 workers, has completed more than 120 yachts since 2000. And one of those customers was Gary Chouest, a member of the new ownership group.
"Gary has always been passionate about our industry, and we are honored to count him as a customer, and now our majority owner, as well," Daryl Wakefield, Westport's president, said. Wakefield is expected to remain in his current role with the company, along with General Manager Dave Hagiwara, and the rest of Westport's management team and employees.
The Chouest family of companies includes substantial holdings in its primary business in the oil and gas marine transportation industry globally, but also includes the Stuart, Florida-based American Custom Yachts (ACY).
"The Westport family is excited about joining forces with the Chouest family," Wakefield said.
Since 1994, ACY has maintained a 63-acre facility accommodating the design and construction of custom sportsfishermen, as well as other affiliated companies.
Similar to the history of the Chouest family business, Westport began five decades ago with a fishing fleet, and has diversified into many other core businesses. Also similar to the Chouest business model, Westport maintains its own in-house vessel design and development team.
"We are pleased to join the Westport family, and look forward to pursuing the synergies that exist between the Chouest companies, ACY, and Westport," Gary Chouset said. "We will continue to pursue the employment of skilled local workers, and will remain an active participant in the communities Westport serves."

Vigor Delivers 144-Car Ferry
Builder/contractor Vigor Fab delivered the Tokitae, the state's newest ferry, to Washington State Ferry officials in early June.
The $144 million Tokitae is the first of three 144-car ferries currently planned, and is expected to enter service this summer on the Clinton-Mukilteo route. The second vessel, the Samish, is currently under construction at Vigor with delivery planned for early 2015. State lawmakers have provided funding for a third ferry, and construction is expected to begin in late 2014.
"Vigor Fab built a top-notch, first-in-class vessel on budget and on time to serve WSF's peak summer season," Vigor Fab Senior Vice President Joe Corvelli said. Vigor Fab is Vigor Industrial's ship building unit. "The Tokitae is the result of all the skill, hard work and dedication our shipbuilding teams bring to the job. These workers have built a vessel ready to serve the people of Washington for the next 60 years."
The vessel's name, Tokitae, comes from a Coast Salish dialect, and means 'nice day, pretty colors.'
"We have a longstanding, productive partnership in new vessel construction with Vigor," Capt. George A. Capacci, interim assistant secretary in charge of WSF, said. "Vigor and their subcontractors have delivered a good product that will serve our customers for decades to come."
With three new 64-car ferries operating, and the first of three new 144-car ferries joining the fleet, the average age of WSF's vessels is expected to drop from 38 years to about 31, according to Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson.
"This new vessel brings us closer to increased service reliability, while meeting the needs of taxpayers and our customers," Peterson said.

Crowley, Foss Receive Safety Awards
The Chamber of Shipping of America (CSA) recently recognized hundreds of vessels for their outstanding safety records by naming them Jones F. Devlin award winners at the CSA Annual Safety Awards Luncheon May 29 in New Orleans.
Crowley Maritime saw 75 of its vessels recognized, while Foss Maritime had 73 vessels honored for outstanding safety records.
The Jones F. Devlin award is given to self-propelled merchant vessels that have operated for two full years or more without a crew member losing a full turn at watch because of an occupational injury. The award publicly recognizes the skills and dedication of the men and women who are responsible for those safe vessel operations.
Crowley's Devlin Award-winning vessels together have achieved a total of 510 years of service without a lost time injury. Of the 75 awarded, 19 have gone without incident for 10 or more consecutive years.
"Safety is at the top of Crowley's core values and strategic goals," Mike Golonka, vice president, ship management, said. "The vessels receiving Devlin Awards exemplify this Crowley core value, because they live it every day – for themselves, their families and Crowley."
The Foss vessels achieved the equivalent of 483 years without a lost-time injury. Of Foss' 73 awarded vessels, 57 achieved five or more years of incident-free operation, with 10 of those vessels attaining ten or more years.
"We're very proud of our program, training, resources and operations," Foss President and CEO Paul Stevens said. ". The men and women of Foss, who work hard to earn us this recognition, are our greatest asset and their safety and well-being are our highest priority."

POLA Adopts $938 Million Budget
The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners on June 5 approved a $938.8 million fiscal year annual budget for the Port of Los Angeles, down from the current fiscal year's $1.1 billion budget.
About $350 million, or 37 percent, of the new budget is earmarked for capital expenditures, down from $400 million in FY 2013-14.
In the FY-2014-15 budget, $281 million is dedicated to specific capital improvement program (CIP) projects. Terminal development and transportation projects comprise 87 percent of the CIP budget.
Roughly $136 million, or 48.5 percent, of the budget is dedicated to terminal development projects, with $100 million helping fund the ongoing TraPac Terminal expansion, which includes backland improvements, stacking crane and automation infrastructure, an intermodal facility to provide on-dock rail capabilities and other terminal-related construction.
Another estimated $19.2 million goes toward upgrades and improvements at the Yang Ming, APL, Evergreen, YTI and China Shipping terminals.
An estimated 38 percent of the proposed budget, or $109 million, is designated for transportation improvement projects, including $35.5 million for the Berth 200 Rail Yard with its accompanying track connections and $27.9 million for the South Wilmington Grade Separation project.
About $40 million has been allocated to improve vehicular traffic flow to and from the Interstate 110 Harbor Freeway.
The approved budget is based on a projected 3.8 percent increase in cargo growth over the current budget.
"In the face of fierce and increasing competition from around the world, we must do whatever we can to maintain our position as the nation's premier trade gateway," Harbor Commission President Vilma Martinez said. "This budget will allow us to continue to modernize infrastructure, upgrade terminals and build a transportation network that can continue to successfully compete globally."
The port says it anticipates spending about $1.1 billion on capital improvement program over the next five years.

Can the Microbiome Impact Immunizations?
August is National Immunization Month, and rightfully so as we head into the fall season which is often accompanied by the flu and common colds. Immunization is often used interchangeably with the word vaccination. While our immune system works hard every day, sometimes it benefits from vaccines which provide a little extra assistance in establishing protection against diseases. The immune system is a complex network of various cells and organisms that work together to maintain good health and fight off infection.
The immune system is broken into two branches: the innate immune system and the acquired immune system. The innate immune system provides the first line of defense to pathogens and is non-specific in its actions. The acquired immune system is activated when the innate immune system is unsuccessful as it targets the specific pathogen, creates antibodies, and is more effective. Immunity can be achieved by either natural immunity which involves direct infection with a pathogen or vaccine-induced immunity, which involves the introduction of a weak or killed pathogen into the body. Both natural and vaccine-induced immunity results from stimulation of the immune system to create specific antibodies which help the immune system "remember" that pathogen should it be encountered in the future (1).
How do Vaccines work?
Vaccinations are extremely important to the health of both humans and animals. There are several core and recommended vaccines for our pets that help prevent both illness and death and include those that help protect against diseases that are considered zoonotic. Zoonotic diseases are diseases, such as rabies and leptospirosis, and can be transmitted from animals to people. By maintaining our pet's vaccinations, we also help protect ourselves as well.
For a vaccine to be effective, not only does it have to be administered, but the patient must also have an appropriate immune response to create the intended protective immunity. So how exactly do vaccines and the immune system work together to create effective immunity? That is a complex question that cannot be answered in a simple blog. Various factors such as age, underlying health conditions, environmental factors, and genetics can all influence the effectiveness of a vaccine (2). As you may already know, many of these factors, along with antibiotic use and diet, also influence the health of the gastrointestinal microbiome which is comprised of various microorganisms, also known as microbiota, and other cellular components which are actively involved in regulating immune responses. These immune responses manage a delicate balance of initiating action against harmful pathogens while tolerating harmless pathogens (3).
Does the microbiome potentially play a role in vaccine efficacy?
When studying the microbiome and its impact on the immune system, germ-free mice are often used as these mice lack all microorganisms including those which normally inhabit the gut. As may be expected, research has shown that there are deficiencies of certain immune cells and functions within the gut in germ-free mice. Antibody production is also decreased but can be improved once normal microbiota are established in these mice (3).
Another study revealed that immunized germ-free mice and antibiotic-treated conventional mice had decreased immune responses to a vaccine compared to normal mice. Once microbiota colonization occurred, the germ-free mice mounted an enhanced immune response post-vaccination (2). Similarly, a study that examined the immunity of mice administered antibiotics post rabies vaccination; found that these mice had reduced numbers of rabies-specific antibodies compared to the group not treated with antibiotics (4). This indicated the level of immunity post vaccine was not as high in the group which received antibiotics.
There is no doubt that maintaining vaccines in our pets helps improve their longevity as well as protects the general pet and human population. The microbiome has proved to be a powerful regulator of overall health. Keeping a healthy microbiome will help support overall health and wellness in both us and our pets. Perhaps it will even help support and maintain protective immunity to vaccines. While there is still a lot that is unknown regarding how the gut microbiome regulates the immune system and contributes to vaccine efficacy, it is exciting to think of where future research will lead us.

Histoire

Moyen Âge

La seigneurie de Pissy a changé de propriétaire plusieurs fois. En 750, Pépin, majordome, restitua  Pisciacum au monastère Saint-Denis avec ses 315 ha. Pissy releva ensuite du Vidame de Picquigny. Il fut divisé en deux parties vers 1282 : la première appartient à la seigneurie de Saisseval jusqu'en 1734, la seconde appartint successivement à l'évêque d'Amiens en 1282, à Jean de Novion de Thièvres en 1295, à Charles de Louvencourt du Saulchay en 1564, et à l'abbaye Saint-Lucien de Beauvais en 1639, qui la vendit à François de Saisseval déjà cité, seigneur de la première part.

Sa fille Françoise-Geneviève apporte la seigneurie par mariage à Jean-François de Chassepot de Beaumont. La famille de Chassepot a conservé la terre jusqu'à nos jours. Dans ses mémoires, un certain Sirnon de Pissy nous rapporte que la politique et les négociations étaient ses talents particuliers, à tel point que le roi l'envoya en 1142 à Rome, vers le pape Innocent II, où sa mission lui mérita l'estime des deux puissances.

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED), in partnership with the National Commission for the Culture and the Arts (NCCA), has opened the call for proposals for creative projects designed to mainstream cultural education and appreciation in higher education.
The Salikha creative grants, derived from the words "saliksik" and "likha", provide financial support amounting to a total of P300 million to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to produce and share creative outputs for publication, exhibition, production, and other forms of public use.
CHED Chairperson Patricia B. Licuanan notes that this marks the very first time the Commission is offering grants exclusively to the development of Philippine culture and the arts in higher education.
"We are making unprecedented investments in the creative capabilities of our faculty to improve instruction and learning in the arts, culture, humanities, and social sciences. By enhancing content and pedagogy, we hope to deepen cultural knowledge and nurture pride in showcasing the unique Filipino identity," Licuanan said.
The Salikha creative grants are open to HEIs with teaching and non-teaching staff affected by the K to 12 program implementation, as part of CHED's continuing role to provide financial support and capability development during the transition period.
Either mono- or multi-disciplinary, proposals must be designed for research, development, innovation, and the production of creative outputs and knowledge, and must seek to make an impact on arts and culture and higher education in the country.
Creative outputs can be in the form of arts research, architecture, cinema, dance, dramatic arts, literary arts, music, visual arts, and creative industries, among others.
The total grant amounts per approved project vary from P500,000 to P10 million, depending on the type and scale of the project, as well as the capability of the institutions to implement it. The deliverables and outputs produced must also be commensurate to the size of grant provided.
Licuanan added that this project is in line with President Rodrigo Duterte's national roadmap to promote the creative arts and utilize higher education as a force for social and cultural transformation, as stated under the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022.
"Through Salikha, it is our hope that we inspire more members of the academe to engage in research of creative work and further promote our rich and diverse culture. And we cannot be more thankful to our partners in NCCA for helping us towards this end," the Chairperson said.


In the September 2017 Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone X announcement Keynote they demonstrated the Apple ARKit driven face emoji, Amimoji. This is similar to other platform's and service's offerings.
But, there is something I think a little different about what Apple is doing. One piece is the face identification system that Apple has in the iPhone X and the 30,000 dots it uses on people faces to ascertain an identity, which makes it difficult for someone to use a photo or mask of a person to gain access. The other piece is people interacting with their screens and the live face scans of muscles and facial features moving.
It is this second piece, the live interaction where I have a strong hunch Apple is seeding things for the future. People are learning to interact with a facial scan interface for fun and learning the capabilities so to be comfortable with it. This seems very similar to Microsoft's using the Solitaire game in early Windows to provide a fun interaction as a means to train people how to use a mouse and get comfortable with it.
Look out a few years and start to see not Animoji, but people talking to Siri to bring up an app on their wrist, car heads-up display, or (rather banal) iPhone and use facial interactions to swipe, scroll, sort, etc. feature options and light contextual information options for simple / calm interfaces. A raise of the eyebrow could scroll up options, a side smile left moves to preferred options and side smile right moves to next screen.
I know nothing other than a hunch, but playing around with this idea for years, I'm seeing the potential could be around the corner. Finally. Maybe. Come on Apple, lets take that step.
Posted at 2:47 PM from Bethesda, Maryland.
My recent trip to Northern California to speak at the UIE Web App Summit and meetings in the Bay Area triggered some good ideas. One thread of discovery is Enterprise, as well as small and medium sized business, is looking at not only technology for solutions to their needs, but design.
Traditionally, the CIO or VP IT (and related upper management roles) have focussed on buying technology "solutions" to their information problems. Rarely have the solutions fixed the problems as there is often a "problem with the users" of the systems. We see the technology get blamed, the implementation team get blamed (many do not grasp the solution but only how to install the tools, as that is the type of service that is purchased), and then the "users need more training".
This cycle of blame and disappointment in technology is breaking around a few important realizations in the IT world.
First, the technology is always over sold in capability and most often needs extensive modification to get working in any environment (the cost of a well implemented system is usually about the same as a built from scratch solution - but who has the resources to do that). Most CIOs and technology managers are not trusting IT sales people or marketing pitches. The common starting point is from the, "your tool can not do what you state" and then discussions can move from there. Occasionally, the tools actually can do what is promised.
Many, decision makers now want to test the product with real people in real situations. Solution providers that are good, understand this and will assist with setting up a demonstration. To help truly assess the product the technical staff in the organization is included in the set-up of the product.
Second, the problems are finally being identified in terms of people and information needs. This is a great starting place as it focusses on the problems and the wide variety of personal information workflows that are used efficiently by people. We know that technology solutions that mirror and augment existing workflows are easily adopted and often used successfully. This mirroring workflow also allows for lower training costs (occasionally there is no training needed).
Third, design of the interaction and interface must focus on people and their needs. This is the most promising understanding as it revolves around people and their needs. Design is incredibly important in the success of the tools. Design is not just if it looks pretty (that does help), but how a person is walked through the steps easily and how the tools is easy to interact with for successful outcomes. The lack of good design is largely what has crippled most business tools as most have focussed on appealing to the inner geek of the IT manager. Many IT managers have finally realized that their interface and interaction preferences are not remotely representative of 95 percent of the people who need to or should be using the tools.
It is increasingly understood that designing the interaction and interface is very important. The design task must be done with the focus on the needs of real people who will be using the product. Design is not sprinkling some Web 2.0 magic dust of rounded corners, gradients, and fading yellow highlights, but a much deeper understanding that ease of use and breaking processes into easy steps is essential.
This understanding that buying a technology solutions is more than buying code to solve a problem, but a step in bringing usable tools in to help people work efficiently with information. This last week I talk to many people in Enterprise and smaller businesses that were the technical managers that were trying to get smarter on design and how they should approach digital information problems. I also heard the decision managers stating they needed better interfaces so the people using the tools could, well use the tools. The technology managers were also coming to grips that their preferences for interfaces did not work with most of the people who need the tools to work.
I have also been seeing the technology tool makers sitting with their actual people using their tools to drastically improve their tools for ease of use. One President of a technology tool maker explained it as, ":I am tired of getting the blame for making poor tools and losing contracts because the technology decision makers are not connected with the real needs of the people they are buying the tools for." This president was talking to three or four users on problems some of his indirect clients were having with a tool they really needed to work well for them. This guy knows the tech managers traditionally have not bought with the people needing to use the tools in mind and is working to create a great product for those people with wants and needs. He also knows how to sell to the technology managers to get their products in the door, but knows designing for the people using the product is how he stays in the company.

There is much buzz about getting rid of the term user these days. Don Norman talks about using the term person, PeterMe picks up on this, and others are not happy with the term "user generated content", like Jon Udell who would like to use "reader-created content", Robert Scoble who believes it is screwing the Long Tail, and Jeff Veen who talks about people writing the web. I have to agree, well I did more than agree.
More than a year ago I got fed up with the user and wrote about saying Good Bye to the User. In years prior I have watched people having painful moments in usability testing. These people felt sorry that they could not easily use what we built and designed. They had empathy for us, but we just lumped them in the category "user". User is not a good word, it is a dirty four letter word. Far too many times designers and developers blame the "user". We tried to solve the user's problems. It was not the problem of the user, it is a real person's pain.
As designers and developers we know deep inside that technology is complex and difficult to use, but we often forget it. The term user has stood in the way. But using person or people, we can see the pain and feel the pain. Many of us consider ourselves users and we do not have these problems, but we are über users, who at one point had the same pain and struggles.
People are different, we have learned this early in life. We can take some characteristics and lump groups of people together, but there are so many important facets that that make us who we are it is difficult to lump people across facets. The only way to lump people separating ourselves as designers and developers out of the equation and putting the focus on regular people. If you are reading this, you are most likely not a regular person who has problems using technology as they wish or need to. It is real people with pain. It is real people who worry about privacy, identity issues, easy access to needed info for themselves and some easy access for some people they know but impossible access for most everybody else, etc. But, the problem with this is these real people do not know this is what they want or need until they do not have it an it becomes painfully aware to them.
I like approach of Jeff Veen and Jon Udell who focus on person-created content. In a hip world of popularity engines like Digg where the masses or crowd bubble up information we forget that most people listen and trust individual voices. We have done this with mass media for years. We trusted certain news anchors and certain reporters on television. We read and trusted certain journalist, columnists, reviewers, and opinion writers. This trust was not always to the wrapper of the communication, like a paper or the whole network news offerings. It comes down to people trusting people. Individuals trusting individuals.
Those of us who have been blogging for nearly a dog year or more understand it is about the individual. We are individual people creating content. We are individual voices. We may be part of a collective at times, but people trust us the person and over time may come to trust people we trust, whom our readers do not know and do not trust yet.
So what do we need in these social computing environments? We need to see the person. We need to have the ability to find the person similar to us. We want to find those whom are near in thought to us. This may not be the most prolific person on a subject or the most linked to, but their interests match our interests and or vocabularies are similar (often a very good sign of commonality). In the popularity engines we should be able to find those who have "liked" or "dug" things similar to that which we have the same feelings and/or interests.
The past year I have been asked many times how easy it is not to use the term user. Well, at first it was hard to transition because it was a term I just used with out thinking. It was also hard because many of my clients and customers I worked with liked using the term user (they also have had many of the problems that come with the term user). But, over time I have a few clients using people and the empathy for the pain that the people who use their products feel is felt and it is reflected in their work products.
One of the steps that is getting broken by real people is that around process. People use tools in different ways. For years we have been looking at a publish and subscribe model. But, that is missing a step or two when we look at the flows. People create content and publish it, right? Well, not quite. We are seeing people skipping the publish and pushing it straight to syndication. There is no single point where it is published and has a definable address. The old publish and subscribe model assumed publishing would syndicate the information (RSS, ATOM, RDF, etc.). But, we all know that syndication has been a really slow adoption for traditional media. It was many years after those of us blogging and syndicating information saw traditional media pick-up on the trend. But, traditional media has always understood going straight to syndication with columnists, radio, and television shows. It was the blogging community and personal content creators that were late to understanding we could just syndicate the information and skip the publishing step in the flow.
How do we not miss things? We watch people and we need to pay attention to their flows. Each individual, each of their desires, each of their different personal information workflows, across each of their current devices, and how they wish they could have what we build inflict less pain on their person.
The person should not feel empathy for those of us building and designing tools and systems, we must feel the person's and peoples pain and feel empathy for them. Where have we stood in their way of their desired flow? Now we must get out of the way, get rid of the user, and focus on people to build and design more effectively.

Ginny Redish and Mary Frances Theofanos have written Observing Users Who Listen to Web Sites article for the STC Usability SIG Newsletter. This article is a great insight into how blind and partially sited individuals interact with Web Sites that are being read to them by devices. This is a must read article.
This article helps developers understand how auditory reader users consume information. There are many similarities to users how use their eyes, but some of the devices we commonly use to assist auditory readers, like skip navigation, are not used as many developers think. The accessibility assistive technologies are still needed and still requested, as thie article points out. This article provides a great insight for those people who do not have a sight challenged user to learn from and to test their products with. Those who do not actually test their work or have never seen their work tested can only guess what is going on. This article helps developers get insight that helps us develop for accessibility from step one, which is where we must be thinking of accessibility.

Roger Waters Continues To Fight Against Pink Floyds Association With Drugs
By Jonathan Edwards on December 30, 2020 Entertainment
When many people think about the late '60s and early '70s, they often go to two places — music and drugs. With the two worlds being ever comparable, few things cross them over like Pink Floyd.
Since the band first burst onto the scene, their music has been labeled as drug music, and that connection has led to several strange theories about their music. If you ask Pink Floyd member Roger Waters, however, this reputation is overblown.
Pink Floyd is one of the most legendary bands of all-time
Part of the British Invasion, Pink Floyd formed in the 1960s in the shadow of the Beatles, according to Britannica.com. While the Beatles were still a relatively clean-cut band with classic pop sounds and lyrics, Pink Floyd offered something different. There were no standard pop anthems, just bluesy stylings with psychedelic references to fantasy books and a strange, mystical quality.
The band found some success with their first few albums, but after founder Syd Barrett left the band due to health issues stemming from LSD overuse, they had their biggest album yet. With Dark Side of the Moon, the band took the concept album to another level, giving listeners a trippy, ethereal sound that was unlike anything the band had ever done before. The band went from a success to a downright legend overnight.
From Animals to the Wall, the band developed a reputation for music that was less about singles and radio hits and more about an album that existed as a singular narrative.
They defied logic and sound, and their out-there lyrics started developing them a reputation that lives to this day. However, Roger Waters is not a fan of this reputation, and he's spoken many times about the damaging misconception about his drug use.
Roger Waters hits back
Pink Floyd: Was 'The Phantom of the Opera' Stolen From Them?
Waters never liked the band's reputation as being heavily influenced by drugs because he believed that it both exaggerated the role that drugs played on their music and took away from the artistry that went behind every album.
He spoke with HuffPost about that reputation in 2013. According to Waters, the spacey tones of the album made people make false equivalencies with drug use. He said at one point:
"How Pink Floyd fans ever came to formulate the philosophy that somehow it was all to do with outer space, which happened earlier. I think it had to do with the fact that one song was called "Interstellar Overdrive," and another song was called "Astronomy Domine," both compositions of Syd's."
Waters believes that the literary lyrics, which were inspired by classic literature more than drugs, gave people a false sense that they knew exactly what the band was singing about.
It wasn't the first or last time Waters took issue with this, either. In an interview with Howard Stern, Waters acknowledged that he suffered through nicotine addiction and tried acid twice. He never relied on drugs to create new music.
However, drug culture and Pink Floyd have become synonymous, and right or wrong, they've become a go-to combination for fans who want the best of both worlds.
Whether or not this affected their artistry is up for debate, but the band made more hit music than most could ever dream of, and their legacy remains steadfast to this day.
Legends of the craft
Waters might fightback from the band's reputation, but the band remains one of the greatest rock groups ever to do it. Rogers still sells out stadiums playing both his solo hits and Pink Floyd's, and whether or not drugs helped elevate any of their performances, they remain the gold standard for experimental rock.
Pink Floyd has a long and complicated history. While some of this is less-endearing than other aspects, their place in music history and, yes, drug culture cannot be denied. Years beyond their peak, they still speak to audiences of all walks of life. This is, inarguably, their biggest crowning achievement of them all.
Pink Floyd them over like Pink Floyd

A province is the second largest administrative division in Chile with 56 in total. The largest administrative division in Chile is that of a region with 16 in total.
Each provincial government (gobernación provincial) is headed by a governor (gobernador) appointed by the president. The governor exercises their powers in accordance with instructions from the regional intendant (intendente). The governor is advised by the Provincial Economic and Social Council (Consejo Económico y Social Provincial or CESPRO). The only exception is the Santiago Province, which makes no provision for provincial government in its regulations; the position corresponds to the intendant of the Santiago Metropolitan Region. In January 2001, the Provincial Delegation of Santiago was created with the position of a Provincial Delegate, who exercises the functions of a provincial governor on behalf of the respective intendant.
The country's provinces are further divided into 346 communes which are administered by an alcalde and municipal council.
The following table gives each province, its capital, surface area and 2002 population according to the National Statistics Institute.

The power sector would require a whopping investment of about Rs 11 lakh crore in the next five years to achieve the targetted capacity addition of over 100,000 MW, the Economic Survey 2011-12 said.
Meanwhile, the sector is likely to be constrained by shortage of fuel and environmental issues, it said.
Shortage in supply of coal and gas to the power sector has been impacting the output at present. A delay in forest and environmental clearances, in particular for hydro-based power projects, has slowed down capacity addition.
A power generation capacity of 50,000 MW to 52,000 MW is expected to be added during the current Plan period ending March 31, 2012. A capacity addition of 46,669.7 MW has so far been achieved untill January 2012.
At the start of the 11th Five-Year Plan (2007-12), a capacity addition of 78,700 MW was envisaged but was scaled down to 62,374 MW in the mid-term appraisal, with the thermal, hydro and nuclear segments contributing 50,757 MW, 8,237 MW and 3,380 MW respectively.
The country's total power generation capacity stands at over 1,80,000 MW.
Who is calculating this figures probably it includes the mining development cost a, port development costs , buying ships to convey coals ……..


It's true that Asians couldn't live without rice. Chinese families on average will have rice paired with dishes on a daily basis, be it home cooked or eat out (dai chao). Whether you have a family, relative or foreign friends to bring out for a meal, this list will not disappoint. So behold, as we present to you some of the best Chinese restaurants in KL.
One of the oldest Chinese restaurants in KL, Sek Yuen has been serving for over 70 years and still going strong. People rave for their Pei Pa duck, while beef noodles and cold plate are also Sek Yuen's signature. This old school Chinese restaurant has since expanded, taking up a few other shoplots. Reservation is definitely recommended, especially during weekends.
Address: 315, Jalan Pudu, Pudu, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.
An unpretentious Chinese restaurant in KL with affordable pricing, Chuan Kee serves authentic Hakka cuisine. People around the neighbourhood are regulars, as Chuan Kee tastes like grandmother's cooking. Get their signature tofu dish. We recommend going for lunch as their tofu is normally sold out by dinner. Pork trotter in vinegar, long beans and eggplants are highly recommended as well.
Address: 14, Jalan Pudu Ulu, Batu 3 Cheras, 56100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.
As the name suggests, Chong Yen serves up some of the best steamed fish head. They're probably the few restaurants that survived in Chan Sow Lin area, with more than 30 years of history. Their steamed fish head is phenomenal, with two flavors to choose. Dark soy and chili paste has an intense flavor, apparently, is the crowd's favourite.
Their gravy will make you get another bowl of rice. Another one which is the white sauce typical flavor, which is more subtle and ideal for those who want to savor fresh flavors of the fish. Another notable dish has to be their kampung chicken, where you have to make a reservation in advance to avoid disappointment.
Known to serve the best char siew (honey-glazed barbecue pork) in town, Siu Siu somehow rhymes with their signature dish (?). Parking is not a problem as they're nestled below Thean Hou temple. Besides their char siew, other notable dishes would be Guinness pork, claypot crab rice and curry. Portion could be small given the prices, but the quality of food is no doubt above average.
Address: Lorong Syed Putra Kiri, Taman Persiaran Desa, 50460 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.
If you're looking for a Chinese restaurant in KL with comfortable, air-conditioned environment, look no further than Restaurant Oversea. Their roast pork and signature herbal chicken are some of the must-orders. Their flavors and textures are professionally handled, they melt in your mouth. Not to forget their char siew is also pretty famous that you have to make a reservation in advance. Though parking and traffic could be a pain, we thought Oversea is worth the trip.
Address: 84-88, Jalan Imbi, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.
Hau Kee is famous among the neighborhood for serving quality food with pretty fast service. They're flocked by mostly locals on a daily basis, though parking is a hassle. Most of their dishes won't disappoint, plus they're wallet-friendly. Overall, Hau Kee is a foolproof spot for a good Chinese dinner, especially if you happen to be around that area.
Address: 12, Jalan Kaskas 2, Taman Cheras, 56100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.
Set in the magnificent Majestic Oriental, Lai Po Heen is one of the few Halal Chinese restaurants in KL. With its exquisite ambiance, enjoy your meal overlooking KLCC park. Lai Po Heen offers an extensive menu of Chinese cuisines, including classic favorites. Though prices can be a little steep, it's well justified with the ambiance, service and food quality.
Address: Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 50088 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur.
Operating Hour: 12-2:30 p.m., 7-10:30 p.m. (Sat&Sun) 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., 7-10:30 p.m.
Ask anyone who've dined in New Kai Seng for recommendations and they'll tell you crab for sure. New Kai Seng cooks finger-licking good claypot coconut cream crab. The aroma of creamy coconut will get to you, especially with their juicy, fresh crab. Kai Seng seems to specialize in claypot, as their claypot knuckle is also a hit. Don't forget to finish off with superior lala soup.
Address: Jalan Kenanga, 50, Jalan Merlimau, Pudu, 55200 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.
Another good Chinese restaurant in KL for the hungry bunch. Hup Kee is a hidden gem and only known mostly by the locals. Despite the never-ending crowd and horrible traffic, they still manage to serve up your dishes in a speedy manner. Try out their fried yam and prawn. Prices over here won't cost you an arm or a leg. Plus, Hup Kee offers complimentary soup and dessert, kudos to that!
Address: 4A, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Sentul, 51100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.
We just have to sort of save the best for the last (bias: editor's favourite). Keong Kee is not your ordinary Dai Chow place. In fact, it's not considered a Chinese restaurant in KL, thanks to its shady, open place ambience.
BUT, if you're Cantonese, you'll understand soup is life. Keong Kee serves some of the best soups in town, their bestseller coconut chicken soup is so on point. You can simply order a bowl of rice to pair with it because the soup is packed with fresh ingredients. Or, order their dishes like wild boar curry, fish and braised pork dishes, they look intimidating, but seriously good.
Address: Changkat Thambi Dollah, Imbi, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur.

North Point's staff is committed to our core vision of sharing Christ and building believers. By Connecting with God, Serving Him with their lives, and Growing their families as followers of Christ, the North Point staff shepherds the flock God has entrusted to them (1 Peter 5:2).
As Lead Pastor of North Point my job is to share vision and strategize how to make God's purpose for this church a reality. I love seeing people grow in their relationship with Christ, and helping them achieve their full potential as a child of God. Whether it is through preaching and teaching, being a part of a LifeGroup, or having coffee at the Blackbird, I thoroughly enjoy authentic conversation and building relationships.
Becky and I moved to Spearfish in 2004 from Cincinnati, where I was on staff at a Christian university and she was a Registered Nurse at Children's Hospital. For her it was like coming home (she grew up in Rapid City), for me it was a small adjustment (having grown up just north of the Twin Cities). We are blessed with a girl who loves music and dance, and a boy that loves baseball and camouflage. So I find myself at many concerts, recitals, and coaching baseball.
I'm a learner of Jesus, husband to Amy, and daddy to Maggie. Some of my favorite things are quality conversation, mountain biking, and a great cup of coffee (once in a while, I can manage all three on the same day!). As North Point's Associate Pastor, I get to help people connect with God and grow as followers of Jesus. This means, among other things, overseeing Sunday Celebrations and making it possible for people to be in groups together. What we do as a church family flows from who we are in Christ, so it's exciting to see people become more like Jesus!
Our family loves living in the Black Hills because of the amazing places to explore and people to meet. Amy works as an administrative assistant and loves creating art, cooking healthy food, and playing volleyball. We are grateful to be part of the Church and want everyone to know about Jesus!

Super Hot Stamper (Quiet Vinyl)
Pack Up The Plantation
Side Three:
Side Four:
Side One: Mint Minus to Mint Minus Minus
Side Two: Mint Minus to Mint Minus Minus
Side Three: Mint Minus to Mint Minus Minus
Side Four: Mint Minus to Mint Minus Minus
A superb copy of Petty's live album, with a Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) side three, mated with outstanding Double Plus (A++) grades or BETTER on the remaining three sides - exceptionally quiet vinyl too
This album gives you the "naked" sound of the real thing - the real voices, the real guitars, the real everything else
These sides are big, full-bodied, present and lively, just the way we like 'em
"The performances by the Heartbreakers are genuine and crisp, and there's enough sing-along and banter to the audience to identify this as a true classic rock concert recording. Petty and the Heartbreakers tear it up on hits like Refugee, American Girl, and Rockin' Around With You, and it's good to hear Stevie Nicks' appearance on the wonderful 'Insider.'"
More Tom Petty
This vintage MCA pressing has the kind of Tubey Magical Midrange that modern records rarely even BEGIN to reproduce. Folks, that sound is gone and it sure isn't showing signs of coming back. If you love hearing INTO a recording, actually being able to "see" the performers, and feeling as if you are sitting in the studio with the band, this is the record for you. It's what vintage all analog recordings are known for -- this sound.
What the best sides of Pack Up The Plantation - Live! have to offer is not hard to hear:
The most Tubey Magic, without which you have almost nothing. CDs give you clean and clear. Only the best vintage vinyl pressings offer the kind of Tubey Magic that was on the tapes even as late as 1985
Transparency and resolution, critical to hearing into the three-dimensional space of the studio
What are the criteria by which a record like this should be judged? Pretty much the ones we discuss in most of our Hot Stamper listings: energy, vocal presence, frequency extension (on both ends), transparency, harmonic textures (freedom from smear is key), rhythmic drive, tonal correctness, fullness, richness, and on and on down through the list.
What We're Listening For on Pack Up The Plantation - Live!
Then transient information -- fast, clear, sharp attacks for the guitars and drums, not the smear and thickness common to most LPs.
Tight, note-like bass with clear fingering -- which ties in with good transient information, as well as the issue of frequency extension further down.
Next: transparency -- the quality that allows you to hear deep into the soundfield, showing you the space and air around all the players.
Then: presence and immediacy. The vocals aren't "back there" somewhere, way behind the speakers. They're front and center where any recording engineer worth his salt would have put them.
Mint Minus Minus and maybe a bit better is about as quiet as any vintage pressing will play, and since only the right vintage pressings have any hope of sounding good on this album, that will most often be the playing condition of the copies we sell. (The copies that are even a bit noisier get listed on the site are seriously reduced prices or traded back in to the local record stores we shop at.)
Those of you looking for quiet vinyl will have to settle for the sound of later pressings and Heavy Vinyl reissues, purchased elsewhere of course as we have no interest in selling records that don't have the vintage analog magic that is a key part of the appeal of these wonderful recordings.
So You Want To Be A Rock & Roll Star
The Waiting
It Ain't Nothin' To Me
Rockin' Around (With You)
Side Three
Southern Accents
Side Four
Don't Bring Me Down
You Got Lucky
Stories We Could Tell
After the stunningly sleek, slick and polished studio album "Southern Accents" left a lot of Tom Petty/Heartbreakers fans yearning for the more straight-ahead rock and roll approach on the group's first era of classic albums, the in-concert "Pack up the Plantation" seemed like a compromise. There are still elements of 80s production here, even for a live album, but the [album] is still packed with a punch heavy enough to satisfy fans who prefer the band's more blatant rock sound.
The exciting cover of The Byrds' "So You Want To Be a Rock n' Roll Star" opens up the album, and a few other decent covers are found, including "Needles and Pins" and the Isely Brothers' "Shout." The performances by the Heartbreakers are genuine and crisp, and there's enough sing-along and banter to the audience to identify this as a true classic rock concert recording. The three songs from "Southern Accents" that are performed obviously sound much more raw than their studio counterparts, and though they're not better versions, they don't suffer either. It's probably a blessing that "Don't Come Around Here No More" wasn't performed for this album, due to its complexity in the studio. But not withstanding, Petty and the Heartbreakers tear it up on hits like "Refugee," "American Girl," and "Rockin' Around With You," and it's good to hear Stevie Nicks' appearance on the wonderful "Insider" (originally from the "Hard Promises" album).
This album is a great addition to any Petty fan's collection.

As we take a look at the number of crashes, homicides, and pedestrians killed in 2023, Acadiana law enforcement officials are likely going to have a busy year.
It seems like the number of situations where investigators are going to have to keep up with cases this year will be significant. For example, there have already been multiple fatal crashes reported this year.
There were multiple homicides that happened throughout the various parishes of Acadiana last year.
In addition, there were several times last year that we had to report pedestrians who died after being killed on Acadiana roadways.
As far as this year, we have started a new story to show where and when these types of situations are happening.
List of Homicides and Deaths in Acadiana for 2023
Whether you pay attention to the news each day or just sporadically check in every once in a while, I think you will agree that we are often reading about homicides and deaths around Acadiana. 2023 seems to be showing that Acadiana will have a busy year when it comes to homicides, fatal crashes, and pedestrian deaths.
